    What on earth makes you believe that “enough British idiots noticed” they were lied to? Reform UK is at 26% in polls, was at 30% not long ago… that’s double what UKIP ever had before Brexit. Idiocy doesn’t just disappear, even the most naive should have realized that after Trump’s return.

      They will acknowledge they may have been lied to about one thing while happily swallowing all the other lies they’ve been told. I didn’t say they stopped being idiots, just that in the face of overwhelming proof some of them would recognize a mistake or two.
